Sourcd App
Concerts have always been experiences that drew me in and captured my attention. They are a shared experience between the artists and us (the fans). But I have always wished to make the concert and performance experience even more personalized and customized for us? Why can a live concert be a two-way conversation? What if you could help shape the setlist for the upcoming concert that you bought tickets to? Perhaps suggest acoustic or extended versions of your favorite songs? Even connect with the band to direct what their encore experience could be?
Welcome to Sourcd dot us, the ultimate concert engagement platform for iPhone and Android that transforms how performers and fans interact before and during live shows.
Sourcd is a real-time setlist voting and fan engagement app designed for bands, performers, and their audiences. It bridges the gap between stage and seats, giving fans a voice and artists the insights they need to create unforgettable shows.
My Driving Force for Sourcd
A Show from Social Distortion
Of the thirty-plus times I’ve seen Social Distortion live, one show at the House of Blues in San Diego stands out above the rest. The energy in the venue was electric, but what truly set the night apart was how the band began: instead of launching straight into their usual punk and rockabilly anthems, Social Distortion surprised everyone by opening with a handful of fan favorites performed acoustically. The stripped-down arrangements gave their classics a whole new feeling—almost as if I was hearing them for the first time.
After these few acoustic versions, the band slipped backstage for a moment. The crowd buzzed with anticipation, wondering what was next. When Social D. returned, they cranked up the amps and tore through their punk and rockabilly standards, delivering the high-octane show everyone came for. The contrast between the acoustic set and the full-throttle finish made the night unforgettable.
As a fan, I couldn’t help but think: what if I could vote for this kind of experience? What if we, the fans who spent our hard-earned dollars on tickets, had input into what a band plays? What if we could encourage bands to mix things up? Perhaps start with acoustic versions, then bring the house down with their signature sound? With an app like Sourcd, that dream could become reality. Fans like me could help shape the setlist, suggest unique arrangements, and make every concert a one-of-a-kind event.
How It Works
For Bands & Performers
With Sourcd, bands and performers unlock a suite of interactive features designed to engage with their audience and extend their connection with us the fans. These tools are built to transform their concert capabilities, allowing them to post exclusive updates, setlist options, and behind-the-scenes content directly to verified ticket holders. Ensuring that only those attending a show have access to these special communications through a verified and targeted approach. Sourcd not only builds excitement leading up to the event but also develops the sense of community among show attendees, making each concert or festival feel more like a truly shared experience.
Integration with social media and official band websites would be seamless, enabling performers to amplify their reach and keep fans engaged across multiple platforms. Bands can share polls, sneak peeks, and announcements about upcoming shows, all while driving traffic to and from to the Sourcd app for deeper engagement. Additionally, Sourcd’s direct messaging feature allows artists to gather feedback and even personal stories from fans, giving performers valuable insights into what their audience wants to hear and experience.
As a concert or tour approaches, Sourcd empowers us the fans of the performers to actively contribute to shaping something that is typically mysterious like a setlist. Bands can present a range of song options, including acoustic versions, extended jams, or special mashups, and invite attendees to vote for their favorites. Fans can also indicate which songs they’d prefer to skip, ensuring the final setlist truly reflects the crowd-Sourcd desires. This dynamic voting system not only will make us the fans feel heard but also helps artists craft a performance that echoes with their audience on a deeper level.
After the show, Sourcd continues to deliver value by connecting fans to exclusive downloads of the performance, available only to those who attended and authenticated their tickets through the Sourcd app. This feature allows fans to relive their favorite moments and share them with friends, further extending the concert’s impact. Bands might also offer limited-edition merchandise tied to the specific event, with items shipped directly to homes as a special reward for attending. By leveraging these post-show opportunities, artists can strengthen fan loyalty and create lasting memories that go beyond the music itself.
Ultimately, Sourcd gives bands and performers the tools to create truly interactive, fan-driven concerts. From pre-show engagement and real-time setlist voting to exclusive post-show rewards, the app transforms every stage of the concert experience into an opportunity for deeper connection and creativity.

For us the Fans
With Sourcd dot us, everything centers around us, the fans.

No more feeling left out or missing important messages; everything we need is delivered straight to the Sourcd app on our phones. The app connects seamlessly with our favorite bands’ social media and websites, so we’re always in the loop, whether it’s a poll about the next encore or a sneak peek at rehearsal footage.
What really sets Sourcd apart is how it puts the power in our hands. As the concert approaches, we get to vote on which songs we want to hear, suggest acoustic versions or extended jams, and even let the band know which tracks we’d rather have skipped. It’s a simple concept to wrap your mind around, just vote and watch the results and change in real time through input directly from us. For the first time, our voices truly matter as we’re not just spectators anymore; we’re collaborators, helping to shape the night’s music, experience, schedule, and energy.
But the experience doesn’t end when the lights go up. After the show, imagine accessing exclusive downloads of the performance? This proof that we were there, living every moment, and about to relive the experience. Sourcd also makes it easy to grab limited-edition merchandise tied to the event, shipped right to our homes as a thank-you for being part of the crowd. And because the app works with major ticketing providers, we know that only real fans are part of this community and no bots, no outsiders, just us.
Sourcd simplifies everything about being a fan. No more shouting requests into the void or hoping the band notices our signs. Our feedback goes straight to the artists, and we see the impact in real time. We’re heard, we’re valued, and we’re part of something bigger. With Sourcd, we’re doing more than merely attending concerts. We’re now to helping create the event and experience…

Why It’s a Game-Changer
Concerts are about connection, and Sourcd makes that connection interactive and personal. No more guessing what the crowd wants when the performers can now know with 100% confidence. Fans will feel heard, and performers deliver shows that resonate deeply.
Interactive Video Boards
Imagine walking around a concert venue, greeted by massive video boards pulsing with energy and information. Even if you had no idea Sourcd existed, these interactive displays make it easy to discover the app and see how it’s transforming the live music experience. The boards showcase what’s happening in real time by inviting you to join the fun, download the app, and become part of the crowd’s collective voice.
Curious about what you can vote on? The video boards display the current setlist options, special requests, and trending fan suggestions. You can see which songs are up for debate, whether the crowd is pushing for an acoustic set, or if there’s a groundswell for a surprise collaboration. Everything is visual, engaging, and easy to follow with no need to dig through menus or ask around. Just glance up and you’re instantly in the loop.
One of the most exciting features is the live heat map, showing what’s being voted on within the app. You’ll see which songs are heating up, which versions are gaining traction, and how the crowd’s preferences are shifting as the night unfolds.
The boards also reveal where fans are gathering throughout the venue whether everyone’s in their seats, rushing the stage, hanging out at the merch stand, or grabbing snacks at a food cart. This real-time crowd insight adds a whole new layer of excitement and connection, making you feel like you’re part of something bigger.
And if the mood shifts around the venue, maybe the crowd wants an acoustic set or a special encore, the boards reflect that instantly. You’ll see the momentum build, watch the votes climb, and know that your input is helping shape the show. With Sourcd and interactive video boards, every fan is heard, every moment is engaging, and every concert becomes a truly unforgettable, shared experience.
Synchronized Lighting Features
Sourcd takes concert interactivity to the next level with synchronized lighting features, designed for fans who opt in through the app. These features aren’t mandatory or required. They are entirely opt-in for those who want to contribute, making participation all about choice, creativity, and amplifying the collective energy of the audience.
Imagine during a slow, emotional song, you and thousands of others hold up your phones, and the app displays a glowing “Bic style lighter” on your screen, creating a sea of virtual flames across the venue. For those who want to take it further, you can opt in to allow your phone’s flashlight to turn on at the exact same moment as everyone else, aiming beams of light skyward and transforming the crowd into a living constellation.
But it doesn’t stop there. Bands can trigger waves of colored lights, on fans’ phones, to travel throughout the venue, synchronized with the music to create stunning visual effects that ripple through the audience. Maybe the band wants to show support by displaying a flag of the location using an assembly of all the phone screens at the show. You might even join in as everyone’s phone screens spell out the band’s name when you hold your device toward the stage that creates a moment that’s both personal and collective.
Sourcd also offers even more cool lighting options. You can match your phone’s colors to the stage lights, or, in venues equipped with drones, link your phone’s display to aerial light shows for a truly immersive experience. Every feature is designed to be secure and gives you the choice to opt in or out, so you’re always in control of your participation.
With Sourcd’s synchronized lighting, fans aren’t just watching the show when they’re really part of the spectacle. It’s easy, engaging, and fun, turning every concert into a collaborative light show that’s as unforgettable as the music itself.
